The Ministry of Health provides commitment bonuses ranging from 10,000 to 30,000 euros to attract young doctors to the public hospital.
Administrative overload, burn-out, lack of attractiveness of careers, French hospital practitioners are doing badly. And faced with this boiling volcano that is the public hospital (see banner below), Marisol Touraine is trying to ease tensions. With thousands of euros. THEhe premiums to encourage young doctors to practice in the hospital and to stay there will range from 10,000 to 30,000 euros. These sums were unveiled on Wednesday in the Official Journal (JO).
The texts, which will come into force on Thursday, specify the various devices launched in October 2016 by the Minister of Health Marisol Touraine. Their objective is to combat the disaffection of doctors with regard to the public hospital. Many now prefer the more profitable private sector.
The deployment of these measures was eagerly awaited by the unions of hospital practitioners, who were impatient to see the “attractiveness plan” of 250 million euros by 2019 come to fruition.
Up to 30,000 euros in premiums
The decrees thus indicate that young graduates who will undertake to take the competitive examination for hospital practitioner and to remain, once established, for at least three years in post will be awarded a bonus. It will be 10,000 euros gross if the practitioner exercises one of the two specialties presenting “significant recruitment difficulties” at the national level: anesthesia-resuscitation and radiology, according to the decree.
The premium will reach 20,000 euros gross if the specialty “is or is likely to be insufficient in the establishment in which he practices”. The two premiums are cumulative for anesthesiologists and radiologists.
The public establishment, for its part, undertakes to offer the practitioner a full-time job under the status of hospital medical staff, until his appointment as a hospital practitioner within the establishment.
